Pecan Pie Cupcakes

These little beauties are a spin off of the Southern favorite, Pecan Pie. Making them into "cupcakes" was genius!!! Plus I had been craving pecan pie for awhile now and I didn't have the syrup. Guess what...These little guys don't need the syrup!!! Plus you don't have to make a crust. Double YAY!








Ingredients:

1 c of chopped pecans
1/2 c of all purpose flour
1 c of brown sugar (packed)
2/3 c butter, melted
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350.

                                        Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Mix well. 

                                 Spray a cupcake tin (or mini muffin) with oil and lightly flour. I like to splatter mine everywhere. Feel free to do the same. 

Fill tin cups about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for about 15-18 min. Mine came out perfect at 15 min but oven times vary, so be sure to check yours. This makes about 12 to 14 cupcakes.

 Just a tip....Make sure you take the cupcakes out of the tins while they are still pretty warm. I found that if you let them cool too long they will stick to the pan and it's a pain taking them out.


I'm telling you, they taste as good as they look.  Yummy and moist, you can't eat just one! Enjoy!!!
